About Kian

Kian is a gentle soul who was rescued from a hoarding situation in Grants, New Mexico. This shy male Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler enjoys peanut butter pretzels and curling up in his crate rather than getting caught in the rain. Having spent the past year in a rural foster home, he's now adapting to the big world in Colorado and finds comfort in cozy spaces at home. While Kian may take some time to settle in, he truly desires a connection with his human. He seeks reassurance when nervous and benefits from a calm, confident owner to help build his self-esteem. Kian comes with some good training; he walks well on a leash, rides nicely in the car, and he gets along well with other dogs. He's crate and house-trained, making him a perfect fit for a condo or townhouse, even without a yard. Kian is about a year and a half old, weighs around 30-35 pounds, and has a medium level of energy and confidence. He is neutered, vaccinated, and eager for a loving home. This sweet boy is currently in Chinle, AZ, but will be available in Boulder the week of Thanksgiving. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
